--

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like you were staring at a stranger... but in a good way?

That's exactly where Allan finds himself after successfully building visible muscle mass and fundamentally changing his relationship with food.

In this real-time coaching session, we get into the fascinating psychological phenomenon of mental lag that happens when your body transforms faster than your self-perception can keep up.

Discover how to handle rising metabolism during cuts, manage post-bulk hunger, and process the psychological side of major physique transformation.
